Workforce Development

Under Statute, the AFPPP is charged with certifying Alaska film production internship training programs and promoting the employment of program interns by eligible productions. In addition, the AFPPP works cooperatively with the Alaska Department of Labor & Workforce Development - Workforce Investment Board on the implementation of the Alaska Crew and Cast Advancement Program (AKCCAP).

AKCCAP: The Alaska Workforce Investment Board (AWIB) received legislative funding to provide a "jump-start" for film and television production training programs. AKCCAP consists of a 2-stage program: the first stage provided grants to training providers to develop programs; the second stage will provide Individual Training Accounts (ITAs) to Alaskans to help pay for training.

The ITAs will be administered through the Alaska Job Center Network - Career Support and Training Services (CSTS).
Individuals interested in receiving funding for film training must complete a one page application. Visit your closest job center to apply or contact these CSTS specialists:
